I don't know enough details to actually judge the judge one way or the other, but in theory it would be entirely appropriate for a judge to say this if the first amendment was not relevant to the defendant's guilt or innocence and

It's scrutiny beyond national security and secret requests. Facebook gives some good examples of requests that aren't NSA or FISA based, e.g. "a federal marshal tracking a fugitive". Given the appropriate legal paperwork

I'm a heavy user of filters and labels, but I've fallen in love with Gmail's smart labels, which seems to be the early beta version of this. Creating and managing more and more filters for every single new sender of email gets to be a pain.

Can't you set the default for uploaded photos to private? That would seem to solve the issue of using it to archive everything, and then let you selectively choose what to share.

I don't mean private in the sense that we shouldn't discuss them, I mean private in the sense that the actual details of the relationship occur in private and that we don't know them. It is very hard to judge a relationship from the outside

But, relationships are very personal and private. It is very difficult to know enough details about the people involved and their relationship with one another to draw any real conclusions from the simple failure of a relationship.

Interesting article, although it doesn't break down where the savings come from. It appears that most of the savings come from the compaction and communication about the cans being full. Given that solar is still often of questionable cost-

Through negotiation and an explicit contract. What's fair is what you can both agree on. Unfortunately, it looks like everything was verbal in this case, so it's going to be hard for either side to say what the actual agreement was.

I imagine the reason that it's done is because rejecting it gives spammers more information that could possibly be used to get around the rejection. It's much harder if they aren't sure whether or not the message was received. Whether or no

I think the taxes would be fairly easy to figure out, no different than if you paid in gold or beanie babies or Euros. It doesn't really give bitcoins any special status or legitimacy for the IRS to do this.

I think it depends a lot on your particular configuration, since json is only an indirect dependency in rails (i.e. it's not part of rails's gemspec). It's clear that it won't get updated for everyone, which is why this warning (to make sur

Please also note from the blog post that CVE-2013-0269 refers to the "json" gem, which may not get upgraded with the rails gem updates. You may need to add it as a separate dependency to your Gemfile to make sure you are using json version
